Great enhancement effect of 20-40 nm Ag NPs on solar-blind UV response of the mixed-phase MgZnO detector by Han, Shun, Xia, Hao, Lu, Youming, Hu, Sirong, Zhang, Dao Hua, Xu, Wangying, Fang, Ming, Liu, Wenjun, Cao, Peijiang, Zhu, Deliang

“…The slight enhancement in UV light intensity from 20 to 40 nm Ag NPs induces multiple tunnel breakdown phenomena within the mixed-phase MgZnO thin film, which is the main reason for the abnormal great enhancement effect on deep UV response of the device, so the recovery speed of the modified device is not influenced. …”

Compressive strength of cemented sand by Chong, Ying Jie.

“…In this paper, the four main factors affecting the compressive strength of cemented sand will be investigated: water-cement ratio of 0.5, 0.6, 0.7; sand-cement ratio of 4.0, 5.0, 6.0; curing age at 3, 7 and 28 days; strain rate of 0.5mm/min, 1.0mm/min, and 2.0 mm/min. The other factors such as dry density, sample dimensions (height and diameter), curing conditions were kept constant. …”

Arsenene nanoribbon edge-resolved strong magnetism by Wang, Sanmei, Zhang, Xi, Huang, Yongli, Sun, Chang Qing

“…Consistency between bond-order-length-strength correlation (BOLS) theory and density functional theory (DFT) calculations verified that: (i) the edge bond contraction of 9.54% deepened the edge potential well of AsNR, (ii) a net charge of 0.06 e- transferred from the inner region to the edge; and (iii) the edge quantum well polarized the unpaired electron and the net spin (antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic depending on the width) is localized at the zigzag edge. …”
